subject: My Drdos 7.03 will not boot.

From: Constant Brouerius van Nidek 

Nothing directly to do with opendos but still with the plain drdos.
I have on my computer three relative small hard disc. On the first hard disc I 
have about 2M on the first partition with Drdos. On the second half of this 4 
MB disc I have a Linux partition. My Linux is running from the second hard 
disc which has two versions of Suse linux. The nr 3 place is the cd rom/ dvd 
drive, the last hard disc is also a linux partition used for photos etc.

Everything ran fine and I am using my Drdos still regularly. It always started 
from the grub menu without problems. 
Somehow suddenly the drdos did not want to start via grub. Thought I had some 
trouble with sys part of the dos instalation but when I start the drdos 
partition with a drdos cd I just get everything as before. Did a sys A: C: 
(A: being the letter given to the cdrom, but that did not make a difference. 
No idea why but the partition still does not want to boot.
And due to the missing autoexec.bat and config.sys from my partition I have a 
less than stellar configuration and missing out on memory hungry programs.
Where can I find how to burn an iso with my own autoexec.bat and config.sys?
Why is my dos partition not working? Any ideas?
